Egyptology (World Party album)
- Egyptology (World Party album)
A 1997 album by World Party. It contained the #31 British single "Beautiful Dream" and the award-winning She's the One, among other songs. But the album was not a commercial success, and Karl Wallinger was upset when his label, Chrysalis, used "She's the One" as a vehicle for pop artist Robbie Williams; Williams' version hit #1 on the British pop charts and won Williams several awards. Wallinger later wrote:
I was so lucky that Robbie recorded "She's the One" because it allowed me to keep going [after his aneurysm in 2000] . He nicked my pig and killed it but gave me enough bacon to live on for four years. He kept my kids in school and me in Seaview [Wallinger's recording studio] and for that I thank him. [Karl Wallinger, on [http://www.worldparty.net/worldparty.html | WorldParty.net] ]
Due in part to the disagreement over "She's the One," Egyptology would be Wallinger's last album with Chrysalis; his 2000 album "Dumbing Up" was released on his own label.
